Statement of AINDF spokesperson
The Korean people are
indignant at frantic military reinforcement of the US
against north Korea
from the outset of the New Year.
As reported, the US deployed in
its Kunsan air force base in North Jeolla Province of south Korea 20 F-16
fighter-bombers and 300 troops of the 79th squadron of the 20th combat wing of
the US 9th Air Force and 300 personnel from its mainland from January 14.
The US conducts flying and ¡°posture
review of operational readiness¡± together with command of the 20th flying
group, ground men of the fighters and the south Korean military war hawks,
quite different from the other years.
It is well known to the
world that the US
reinforced modern fighters from last October to the eighth flying group
stationing in Kunsan base. It has pursued adventurous war plan against north Korea by deploying 300 aircraft in an airport
of the US Marine in Okinawa, Japan to cope with contingency on the Korean Peninsula.
The US reinforcement of up-to-date fighters in south Korea and around the Korean
Peninsula drives situation on the Korean Peninsula
to brink of war, talking about ¡°local adoption¡± and ¡°strategic flexibility¡±. In
addition, it is a challenge to the Korean people who wish peace and reunification.
The Anti-Imperialist
National Democratic Front vehemently denounces the reckless reinforcement of
the US air force, branding
it as an intolerable act ignoring the popular feelings and demand of the times
desirous of permanent peace and adventurous attempt to unleash a war against north Korea.
Peace and security on
the Korean Peninsula
and in Northeast Asia are gravely threatened
and the danger of war is approaching.
Peace and dialogue on
the lip-service of the US
are a deceptive trick to mislead the public opinion and conceal its sinister ambition
to provoke war against north
Korea.
Now the US conservative hawks scheme to establish a new
cooperation mechanism to press north
Korea through arms buildup and war drills,
clamoring ¡°south Korea-US alliance¡± and ¡°cooperation.¡± However it is foolish
act.
No one can check unanimous
desire of the Korean nation and trend of the times to open up a new era of independent
reunification, peace and prosperity under the banner of ¡°By our nation itself.¡±
The US cannot escape from responsibility that it
pursues stalling tactics in peaceful solution to nuclear issue, escalating
tension and danger of war on the Korean
Peninsula.
The US must abandon its anachronistic hostile policy
toward north Korea and
immediately withdraw from south
Korea with its army and war equipment.
Lasting peace and
security cannot be expected and the Korean nation cannot open wide the gate of reunification
and prosperity as long as military occupation and war moves of the US
continues.
The south Korean people from
all walks of life should resolutely foil the arms buildup and anti-north Korea war drills of the US and south Korean hawks. They
should launch a vigorous struggle to drive the US
troops from south Korea.
The AINDF, together with
the people from all social standings desirous of peace, reunification and
national prosperity, will intensify the struggle to foil the war maneuvers of
the hawks at home and abroad, holding aloft the banner of peace against war.
